RedHat / Centos Kickstart tweaks

Kickstart is a great method of hands-free installation of RHEL/Centos (and other derived systems). Its power is in its easy interface and rather powerful %post scripting directives. Its weakness is in its lack of flexibility where it comes to package selection and various custom actions. On some cases, companies use web interface (usually home-made) which…
SABnzbd and high CPU usage on weak CPUs
Byetzion
SABnzbd is a nice tool. I just replaced my previous nzbget with it, due to its better handling of the obfuscated names in usenet groups. However, on an Atom CPU, the max download speeds did not go over ~5MB/s on a 100Mb/s link. This is rather sad, because nzbget did get the whole ~11MB/s speeds….
“Pinning” a package using “YUM”
Byetzion
YUM is a nice (and useful, when used correctly) tool to manage packages, using RPM as its engine. APT, the Debian alternative, has this ability, and so does YUM. YUM does not pin a specific version of a package, but rather avoids upgrading it as soon as it was marked. It remains installed, but never…

Hot-resize disks on Linux

After major investigations around, I came to the conclusion that a full guide describing the procedure required for online disk resize on Linux (especially – expanding disks). I have created a guide for RHEL5/6/7/8 (works the same for Centos or OEL or ScientificLinux – RHEL-based Linux systems) which takes into account the following four scenarios:…
